Has anyone heard from @Truckinmonster21? Kind of concerned we haven’t seen (heard) him around.

Checking in at 106 days! Another Saturday night with no alcohol. Feeling good. This past week I celebrated my birthday and it was great to be sober for that special day!!
Tonight something interesting happened. When I stopped drinking I went into it feeling like if there was a really nice wine or something around I’d probably take one sip for taste and that would be ok (I know people have different opinions on that but that was my thinking). That situation hasn’t really come up over the past 3+ months, but tonight it did with a nice bottle of red wine when my parents came over for dinner. I opened the bottle for my mom, poured her a glass, and thought how I should try it. And then I looked at the bottle and was like…actually I don’t even want a taste of this at all, not even a sip. I was kind of amazed at that reaction. I was not even trying to deny the option…I just didn’t want it, and I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything.

Though this makes me proud, just in a bit of a funk these days. A phase, I hope. Moved into a new house, and know no neighbors yet. Hard to meet anyone during Covid. And my husband is so damn cheery it drives me insane sometimes! And then all these people I know getting vaccinated that are not actually “eligible”. Partly envy, but mostly irritated - I am a rule follower and am content to wait my turn. Why can’t everyone just respect the clearly-faulty process?! It will be so nice to get out and about with fewer restrictions. And seeing family - please! I do have my outlets, like golfing and hiking, and skiing soon! I really shouldn’t complain OR be in a funk. Yet, I do, and I am. But, still sober.

& Day 41
Just realized that the last time I quit alcohol for an entire year before a relapse, I wasn’t medicated or diagnosed with my mental illness.
I was feeling panicked today because I feel better mentally after 41 days this time than I did months into my last attempt.
Makes me suspicious and on my guard.
I can see so many differences this time and I’m going to fight harder than ever…

I’m so late to the party! Congrats @Rockstar24777 and @Piglet on 9 months!
Rob, you come by your Rockstar name honestly. You truly are a star, and you are rocking your recovery and your life, tending to your grief and loss, and your health stuff too. Thank you for the example of you. I am glad to hear you are home. 
Graham, I’m sure you don’t come by your Piglet name honestly! 
But at least Piglet’s cute?

- Coffee. Work. Will it ever stop? Not for another decade at least. Well I got a job to go to. And I did stop acting on my my stupid addictions. This place and all of you played a huge role in doing that. Forever grateful my friends. Have as good a Sunday as you all can. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam where the signs of spring are slowly growing louder.
